Expertise

Peregrine specialises in representing claimants with life‑changing injuries, including amputations and complex traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. He is highly experienced in maximising compensation awards while ensuring clients receive timely, tailored and comprehensive rehabilitation to meet their long‑term needs.

While the majority of his work arises from serious road traffic collisions, Peregrine also has a particular interest in complex accident‑at‑work liability claims.

Over the past decade, Peregrine has secured well in excess of £100m in compensation, providing his clients with long‑term financial security and access to the care and support they require.

Recognition

Ranked for 12 consecutive years by Chambers and Partners, Peregrine is consistently recognised for his exceptional approach. Recent commentary describes him as “incredibly personable, but beneath the friendly exterior a real smart cookie”, with a “thoroughly intellectual yet practical grasp of both the legal and clinical issues” that is “immediately apparent.” He is also praised for having “a brilliant rapport with clients” and being “an outstanding practitioner.”

Clients consistently praise Peregrine for his reassurance, commitment and outstanding results.

• “It was such a reassurance having Perry and the team at Stewarts assist me so soon after my accident, providing me with excellent advice and support to ensure that I got the best possible rehabilitation, including access to a case manager, support worker, suitably adapted hire vehicle, therapy team and prosthetists. I can’t recommend Perry highly enough to anyone else who sustains a terrible injury like I did.”
• “Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor than Perry. Everything we needed, you sorted for us. We were in very capable hands and never felt like we needed to worry.”
• “You were amazing from our very first meeting in ensuring that I got the very best rehabilitation and accommodation, to achieving such an incredible award which will ensure I will have a great quality of life for the rest of my days.”
